  The tarot has been used to play games since the 15th century. Since that time each card has also accumulated meanings. By the 18th century the tarot was used for divination or for oracular purposes, much like the Delphic oracles of old. Nowadays the trumps, or major arcana, are believed to chronicle, symbolically, the journey of the Fool through life.
  How to be a Tarot Card (or a Teenager) explores, exploits, and sometimes downright twists the major arcana and the meanings they have accumulated, in the order in which the many hundreds of tarot decks now travelling the world present them. The Star, connoting hope, exists simultaneously as metaphor and feral dog; the rebirth nestled inside the Death card becomes female friendship and escape from patriarchal binds.

  In science one reasons by analogy, so when mankind is confronted by experiences entirely beyond its understanding it takes an individual with intelligence and bravery in equal measure to push back the boundaries of the unknown… 
  In London, in the 1900s, the solutions to supernatural occurrences were investigated by a man who was famous for his dealings with the unknown and the worlds of the dead: Jarrem Lee - Ghost Hunter, (or as he prefers to call it, a psychical detective). With the help of college student Arthur Bennett, he embarks on a series of spine-tingling and exciting adventures in the world of the dead. 
  Episode 21 - The Suicides at Sevens Hall - A terrible curse hangs over the Harkindale family causing each successive heir of Sevens Hall to commit suicide. When Jarrem Lee is contacted by the latest victim, he agrees to stay at the Hall and confront the dark spectre which haunts the family. Based on the story by E&H Heron.  
  Episode 22 - The Fear Of Knowing - Jarrem Lee is used to confronting ghosts, but when the spectra claims to be himself with a warning from the future, it complicates matters. Is this ghost to be believed, or is Lee but a pawn in a more intricate game? 
  Episode 23 - The Call of The Dead - When a wife dies, it's natural that a husband should grieve, but Robert Castlewood isn't in mourning, he's convinced he can still speak to his dead wife. 
  Episode 24 - The Sacrifice - When Sir Henry Redhill is mysteriously assassinated, the Home Secretary calls in Jarrem Lee to investigate. Why?  Because the killer was already dead.

  A young soldier returning from the trenches of the First World War recollects a love that dares not speak its name. Almost one hundred years later, a groom-to-be prepares for his gay wedding.
  Queers celebrates a century of evolving social attitudes and political milestones in British gay history, as seen through the eyes of eight individuals.
  Poignant and personal, funny, tragic and riotous, these eight monologues for male and female performers cover major events - such as the Wolfenden Report of 1957, the HIV/AIDS crisis, and the debate over the age of consent - through deeply affecting and personal rites-of-passage stories.
  Curated by Mark Gatiss, the monologues were commissioned to mark the anniversary of the 1967 Sexual Offences Act, which decriminalised homosexual acts in private between two men over the age of twenty-one. They were broadcast on BBC Four in 2017, directed and produced by Gatiss, and starring Alan Cumming, Rebecca Front, Ian Gelder, Kadiff Kirwan, Russell Tovey, Gemma Whelan, Ben Whishaw and Fionn Whitehead. They were staged at The Old Vic in London.
  This volume includes:
  The Man on the Platform by Mark Gatiss
  The Perfect Gentleman by Jackie Clune
  Safest Spot in Town by Keith Jarrett
  Missing Alice by Jon Bradfield
  I Miss the War by Matthew Baldwin
  More Anger by Brian Fillis
